Our Rest Lecture.

To the Press and Dakotaian: The
holders of course tickets will bs glad tc
learn, and re desire that the entire pub
lie should be informed, that we conf.
| IDENTIFY expect the lecture on March Isl
by Hon. William Parsons to be the best
/ Of the course. We have had some very
fine lectures and the large audiences
have testified their appreciation of them,
but many have not heard them because
they did not anticipate they would be
so fine. We, therefore, specially an
nouoe 1.-THE Story of the Golden Age
by Parsons as a lecture that every one
we have had, and request all lovers OF
eloquence and wit to enjoy this evening,
The fame Of Mr. Parsons is as wide as
England and the UnitedB States. We
quote O few notices of his work, John
Boyle O'Reilly says: "We do not praise
Mr.. Parsons because he is an Irish gem
tlemen but because we never heard his
equal as a lecture; because he to
his engagements with a Conscientious
purpose of doing his avery best every
time; because he gives his audiences the
rarest wit and wisdom, and studies how
to do it with the best possible grace and
power" John Bright says: s'Mr. Par
sons'oratory fairly electrifiedh his hearers
Robert ). Burdetie: england has fur
nished our country with no lecture ADLER,
more brilliant or more popular" "The
most entertaining lecture ever delivered
here."-Detroit Post. 1.-THE finest lecture
Of the course."-Detroit Free Press. "The
only transatlantic lecturer who has won
and kept the highest rank isWilliam Par
sons, a literary Irish orator, who is the
special delight of Bostonians. He is
ranked with George William Curtis in
point of elegance of style and scholar
ship; but he is o more fiery and impnls-
i've speaker."-Nep York Graphic. Full
of native wit, Parsons is o superb
speaker. Wendell Philips.
So we might quote nearly every
authority in Great Britain and in the
United States. Scores OF newspapers
and lecture association join in praise and
Redpath's bureau assures us of Che
superior excellence of the lecture we
select. We desire that many shall hear
this lecture.

OF burned chickens, turkeys sud humid

Some of our people criticise Smith
Center folks for not working harder 10
carry the bonds in Lane aud Cedar
townships. IL is pretty certain that the
bonds were defeated, not 50 much be-
cause Of the inactivity Of Smith Centre
as the activity of certain people in kir-
win kirWin has some shrewd men and
industrious workers. They are work
ing with might and main to prevent the
kocS-lsiuud from bniidiHg through
Phillips county urs fsiliag in that, to
throw 1t SIS lar away from their town as
possible snd over on TO the northern
route. They did some hard work in tie
western part Of Smith county and they
are now At work in the eastern half OF
this county. They don't object so much
TO the building OF the road itself as to
The creating OF two or three connecting
towns III the territory north Of them.
As the matter stands now, it looks lie
they mighL succeed They have de
feated the bonds in two townships and
bid fair to defeat them in At least one
more In that event the present route
viii probably lie abandoned or If not
abandoned no stations will be made in
the townships voting asain-t the bonds.
Is iU not straIge that the farmers OF
Plum, Cedar and Lane. can De so hum
bugged and so blinded by sOphistry as
TO be made 'icatS-paWs for other psn-
pie aud vote and act directly against
their own interests? Why, the verv
